Question: Where would trades for 'name swaps' of these go if that's possible or a thing?

Also, is there a name list anywhere?

You can't trade allies.

I have just edited the first post to add a list of the names I've seen so far. :lol: It's at the bottom of the first post in a spoiler.

Any names I've missed? :orly:
<3 Thank you so much for my pressies! <3

I got Geode Almighty on my first one and was like "Okay. I'm happy now with my one rock." XD

I'm surprised. I got one of these that was unnamed. All the rest have names that are really creative.

I love this joke, but I also don't like it.

All of our other allies are singular.. as in we can only have 1 of each, even when there are more than one version of sprite (centaur m/f, brown/black lycanthrope).

But now we have Pet Geode Allies.. 67 and counting so far. Two things stand out as 'wrong' with this..
Allies should be unique and these are definitely NOT.. and to make matters worse, you wind up with duplicates that you can't trade.

At this point, I don't know if I like this or hate this. Do I keep wasting money to get every name? Do I stop where I am now at 50 and just not have a complete set? Should I keep or release the duplicates or pray that we eventually get to trade them?

The only thing I know for certain at this point is that the one 'unnamed' I've gotten is the one that's going into my 'Collection' tab. But what do I do with the other 49?

Making them tradeable would solve 'my' problem, but I'm sure someone will retort with 'they aren't supposed to be tradable, because they're allies'. I don't think they should be Allies. I think they should be like every other joke creature we've had in the past.. tradable.

I do not intend to add 67 (?) of the same creature to my Collection tab. And I see no reason to keep this many useless joke creatures around either. So I would like to know something definitive.. will they eventually be tradable or not? If not, I'm going to start selling ALL of them except my unnamed one off. releasing them, since I forgot they aren't salable either, because they can't be added to trades. Which makes them even more useless.

I am in the process of moving house, so I will not be around much for the foreseeable future.

Thank you, I've added Stoned. ^_^

I'm missing some as well but gaaahh I have 65 extras by now. :lol: So I named my three unnamed ones with some of the names I was missing. Got 61 names now, think I'm still missing 5 or 6.

I fully agree with this. I think it's a cool idea, but I am bothered by the idea that we can't do anything with these either. I have been releasing them myself, but I'm still torn on what to do about the set in general.
